2016 100 Top Hospitals Winners Announced

Truven Health Analytics has released its annual list of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals — healthcare organizations that are delivering exceptional healthcare value through outstanding performance on an 11-measure, balanced scorecard. See who made the 2016 list.

 

 

Executive Compensation Study

Truven Health Analytics™ and Mercer teamed to investigate whether there is a correlation between CEO compensation and hospital performance on a balanced scorecard. The study showed there is a strong alignment for the highest level of performance. However, the study also found that 80% of hospitals do not perform well on a balanced scorecard. Instead, compensation appears to be designed to incent the CEO to pursue metrics mandated by CMS – leading to potentially dangerous imbalances in performance. Download the white paper
